Chapter 268 Night~Falls! (Two in One)

Faced with the approaching fog, Ted felt that he might need to make some preparations.

Ted briefly discussed the matter with his friends, and then called in several prefects and the male and female presidents of the student union.

"Because something happened at the Ministry of Magic, most of the professors in the school have left. But this strange fog appeared at this time. Just in case, we have to prepare early..."

After all, Ted has been working in the school for three years and is quite prestigious.

Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration to get nervous just because of a heavy fog?
Although no one questioned it, Ted could see the attitudes of several prefects, so he explained, "You should all know about the temporary closure of Hogsmeade Village. It wasn't for renovation or expansion, but something went wrong."

"Because the Ministry of Magic has issued a gag order, most people don't know. We are eyewitnesses. I can only say that it was very strange. An unpredictable enemy appeared..."

He looked around at everyone. "The Ministry of Magic has been searching for the enemy in the Forbidden Forest, but it seems that there have been casualties. Now, most of the professors are not here, but this abnormality has occurred. We would rather believe it than not."

"If it turns out to be a false alarm, we can just treat it as a game, but if something really happens, we must prepare early!"

Having said that, no one would disagree.

Therefore, all the class leaders and student union presidents came forward and began to inform the students: We are going to conduct an exercise during the holiday!
That’s right, it’s best not to make this kind of thing public, otherwise many young wizards may lose their temper, causing chaos which is not good.

Anyway, the final effect is the same. If nothing happens in the end, it will be a special game on Halloween Eve, a drill.

But if anything, it was prescience…

After the students finished their meal, they all stayed in the auditorium. There were six grades (the seventh graders had already gone off-campus for internships and jobs), and there were about two hundred and fifty to sixty people in total.

The first-year wizards were arranged inside the auditorium, led by the second-year students, to talk and chat.

Their main task is to stay calm and follow orders when things happen.

Students in grades five and six began to form teams of three to four in their dormitories, observing changes around the school, paying attention to whether there was anything unusual in the thick fog, and standing guard.

Those like Ted who are good at magic and have stronger combat capabilities have formed several combat groups to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

At this time, Professor Trelawney and Hagrid also arrived, and Ted had contacted the two of them through paper cranes as soon as possible.

Trelawney has no fighting ability and is not sociable, so Professor McGonagall will definitely not take her to support the Ministry of Magic.

Hagrid usually guards the edge of the Forbidden Forest and does not participate in supporting the Ministry of Magic.

At this time, Trelawney came to the hall nervously and was about to say "unknown", but Ted stopped her and pulled her aside to warn her carefully: Don't be a pessimist, it's unlucky. Don't talk too much, it will affect the mentality of the young wizards.

You just need to stay here honestly and give support of faith to the younger freshmen.

The first and second year students had just arrived and didn't know what kind of person Trelawney was, but knowing that she was a professor was somewhat comforting.

As for Hagrid, the man with the slicked-back hair, he came with Fang, carrying the giant crossbow on his back and holding his "little umbrella" in his hand.

Ted briefly mentioned the matter in the letter. If a battle broke out this time, it would probably not be an ordinary situation, so he asked him to come quickly fully armed.

If I stay outside, I will be fighting alone.

Before Ted could stand guard and quietly raise his vigilance, a fight had already broken out deep in the Forbidden Forest.

At the foot of a mountain on the edge of the forbidden forest, more than ten kilometers away from the school, is the location of the cave we found before.

Dumbledore, along with Professors McGonagall, Snape and Moody, and a group of Aurors, had been fighting the enemy for seven or eight minutes.

There were also thirty or forty Dementors hovering in the sky like black rags, which Fudge strongly requested to join the team.

At this point, there is no time to worry about anything else. The only option is success and not failure.

Dozens of charred corpses have fallen on the ground here, and everyone has achieved remarkable results.

From the centaur undead covered in skeleton armor, to the eight-eyed spider undead with a hard shell that can burrow into the ground, as well as various large and small magical animal undead, countless people were killed and injured.

The difficult thing about these undead spirits is that they have no fear and are not afraid of death at all.

And it won't die easily.

The big spider was clearly broken into pieces when it was hit, but most of its body was still moving, struggling to stab people with its sharp claws, and it could even spit silk to wrap people up from a distance!

The only way to do this is to burn it into charcoal with fire, or use some rare white magic to break up the death magic in the undead's body.

The only ones who could do this on the scene were Dumbledore and Snape.

Snape used dark magic!
I have to say that from this point of view, black magic is still very versatile.

Even Moody had begun to use dark magic. Dumbledore didn't say anything.

Some undead magical animals that blocked the way have also been killed. The next step should be to kill into the cave.

But this is a bit dangerous. Who knows what is in that narrow cave?

At this moment, a large amount of thick fog began to emerge from the cave.

Everyone present was also a veteran of battles, and they quickly moved closer to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore also frowned and raised his wand, silently releasing Lumos.

This fluorescent flash was different from that of ordinary wizards. It was much brighter, as dazzling as a high-power searchlight, dispelling all the fog within dozens of meters around.

But the fog also bypassed them and spread to other parts of the forbidden forest.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, "Slotry Blockade~"

A white light formed a circle around the cave, preventing the mastermind from escaping in the fog.

Dumbledore didn't think that this dark wizard was his opponent, he was just worried that he would escape by some unknown means.

If the previous killing and sucking of magic power caused panic among some people, then when the undead curse appeared, this dark wizard had already reached the level of endangering world peace.

Dumbledore must not let him get away!
However, the mastermind behind the scenes didn't seem to have any intention of escaping. As wisps of black mist overflowed from the cave, a figure walked out.

He was not tall, about 1.6 meters, and was wearing a somewhat worn wizard robe, but that face was definitely not that of a normal person.

It was a face that seemed to be covered with a layer of skin, with many hard protruding spikes and dark brown spots, like the leather of a crocodile or a monitor lizard. There were also two curved horns on the head.

The eyes are wide and widely spaced, with vertical golden pupils.

The mouth was wide and broad, with lips turned outward and a mouthful of sharp teeth sticking out.

His nails were sharp black claws, and he was holding a strangely shaped staff that was taller than him. In his empty left hand was a huge white ghost claw that looked extremely ferocious.

He was surrounded by a surge of grey magic power, which was more powerful than 90% of the wizards present.

And coming out from behind him was a group of modified and somewhat strange undead.

Those undead spirits outside the cave before were obviously not all of them.

"Ha, aren't all the cowardly spellcasters in this world useless?"

His golden vertical pupils stared at Dumbledore, revealing a mocking and provocative smile: "So, you are the so-called Dumbledore, right?"

……

Ryan is a demon wizard who has signed a contract with the devil. Later, due to various changes, he killed his contracted demon and took the left hand with its magic power to himself, turning into a half-demon, half-human form.

From then on, he fought for power and moved among various forces.

But a sudden ambush, where four or five heroes attacked him together, almost killed him completely.

When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, a crack suddenly appeared in space, and he was sucked into a vortex of time and space.

Although he wasn't dead, he was almost there.

But coincidentally, during the short time when he was wandering chaotically in the vortex of time and space, he met another unlucky guy who was also caught in the vortex of time and space.

He didn't know this person, and he had never seen his power before. But this didn't stop Ryan from killing him and saving himself.

Ryan has the ability to absorb magic power, which is very effective. He likes to drain and kill those spellcasters who go against him.

This time too, the unfortunate human knight was sucked to death, and he recovered from near death to serious injury.

And not long after, he was thrown into a crack by the vortex of time and space and came to this world.

It was a strange world, and a little too peaceful for comfort. But at least it was safe.

Originally, Ryan planned to lie low and use his extra-long lifespan to slowly explore the world.

But the injury doesn't wait! His injury is getting worse!

It was as if the life force was draining from his body, and at an increasing rate every day.

As a last resort, he found two prey and sucked them.

As a result, the population of the wizarding world is limited, so death is a big deal.

He was discovered and fled blindly all the way to France.

He lay dormant here for a while, and even lurked in the magical world by pretending to be a wizard.

However, a more serious problem appeared. It seemed that something was wrong with his body, and his vitality began to drain away again...

Finally, his affair in France was exposed, and he was chased all the way to the British Isles.

Here, he played several games in a row and his health deteriorated.

In the end, he chose to go all out and chose the Forbidden Forest, a place of great Feng Shui...

It turned out that the one who was sucked to death by him in that inexplicable vortex of time and space was half a death knight. It was an evil existence created by the orc warlocks of the Shadow Council of Azeroth, a kind of necromancy.

Although Ryan survived temporarily because of the sucking, the power of death began to take root in his body.

But after all, he is a ruthless man who can tear demons apart with his bare hands and even transform himself into a half-human, half-demon. He used the lives of a large number of magical animals in the Forbidden Forest to "study in seclusion" and eventually mastered this power. Now he is a necromancer?

And in the brief window of time when the Ministry of Magic discovered the undead hounds and began searching the Forbidden Forest, he captured a group of people and goblins.

It should be said that the goblins came here themselves.

Apparently, the Ministry was a sieve, and the fact that Fudge had added three spoonfuls of sugar to his morning coffee would have spread abroad by noon.

And when they discovered that the gag order issued by the Undead Dog was just a lonely order.

The Goblin Revenge Army acted much faster than the Ministry of Magic. Before noon, a small team of seven goblins went deep into the Forbidden Forest to search for the source of this deadly force.

Moreover, they were lucky and found the cave soon, and then came into contact with the necromancer Ryan.

The goblins have expressed their intention to work together, to overthrow the wizards, to create chaos, and everyone has a chance!

Ryan was much more direct: How dare this lowly goblin come to negotiate with your uncle Ryan?
He took direct action and turned the seven goblins into undead.

Now tell us everything you know!
Ryan originally had a bit of contempt for this world. After all, the spellcasters he met along the way were too weak. If he hadn't been seriously injured, they would have beaten him to pieces!
But the death goblins said Dumbledore's name.

Although Ryan is vicious, he is also very cunning.

So he set up a trap.

Bring that Dumbledore here and let him weigh his own weight.

If it doesn't live up to its name, then it's naturally just my own magic fast food!
But if he is really as strong as these goblins say, then I might as well stay out of the spotlight for a while.

Instead, we can take this opportunity to lure him out.

Isn't he some kind of principal?

I prefer to absorb magic from young wizards, as that can increase the source of magic.

We will lure Dumbledore out here, and send people to raid their school!
With the magical power of two or three hundred students, he becomes invincible!

The previous small-scale ambush on the Auror team was just a bait!
This is exactly a feint to the east and attack in the west, luring the tiger away from the mountain.

I am not afraid of the villain's great abilities, I am just afraid of the villain knowing military tactics.

Various undead creatures emerged from the cave, more than 7 in total, all of them very powerful. If Ted identified them, they were all level or above!

At the same time, Ryan grinned: "Dark Sky!"

As the staff in his hand was raised high, a magical power rose straight into the sky, and then the sky quickly darkened.

The darkness spread rapidly, drawing the magic of death from the large area of ​​rotten earth beneath its feet. In a short time, the entire Forbidden Forest, including Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, was shrouded in it!

Dead creatures began to struggle out of the ground in the form of zombie skeletons!

……

"It's getting dark!" a little wizard screamed in the auditorium.

Before he finished his words, the auditorium was already dark.

Ted snapped his fingers, and dozens of torches on the surrounding walls and candles in the air were all lit.

"Be careful! Everyone stay where you are. Combat teams, follow me and assemble at the castle gate!"

At the same time, the stone carvings on the stone piers on the edge of the school wall suddenly came alive and pounced on several undead goblins riding their dead mounts.

But the goblins smashed the stone statues of the winged flying pig and the forked-horned deer with a few spells.

The leading goblin grinned, with blue flames in his pupils: "Damned wizard school, I can finally destroy you! Follow me! Kill all the little wizards!"

If Ted were here, he would have recognized it. He had seen this undead goblin himself.

During the Firelands incident, he was the other leader of the "Goblin Caravan".

Well, his uncle was killed by Ted. As the saying goes, enemies meet...
